Made a major decision regarding my career...joined d wet lab..will have to go and tell in d dry lab tomorrow dat i will not b able to join their lab..i wonder wots d toughest part-saying no to d dry lab or taking d decision not to join it..anyways,chapter closed..attended my first lab meet..was a nice experience..d lab mates are good,and are extremely good at ttheir science..dats a opinion dat mat be forming too quickly,but all seemed to be aware of their work from they way dey spoke about it..d major credit goes to d P.I. of course who as he says it himself is a hard task-master..it reflects in d proficiency of his ppl.
anyways...yesterday i was chatting wid one of my friends online wen she pointed out d way SMS english had pervaded into d way we write..'the' becomes 'd','before' becomes 'b4'..and so on and so forth..sad..or is it?..for ppl who SMS regularly,it becomes more of a reflex to use these abbreviations (by d way,why is abbreviation such a long word?)..its quite obvious why...wen you are typing out a msg on ur mobile,u need to b fast and d only means of achieving it is to cut short d "useless" stuff from words.. i mean, ppl and people,both convey d same meaning,but its much easier to write ppl dan people...personal experience..which brings me to this question-can we afford to let these kind of spellings to invade d written word..d idea is conveyed is it not,whether u write u or you,ur or your...for d subject specific jargon u really cant do anything,or rather nothing shud be attempted..also,while using abbrv. do we keep d flow of ideas smooth? will it get hindered if we started using full forms..strangely this phenomenon semms to have pervaded only where u need to TYPE and not WRITE...i hope so...
